If we are running the 'virt' machine, we may have a device tree blob but no
kernel to supply it to if no -kernel option was passed. In that case, copy it
to the base of RAM where it can be picked up by a bootloader.

(though obviously if you change the load_dtb() arg/return
this will need tweaking slightly).
